Temari had never liked the color pink.

When she was little, red was her favorite color.

When she became a kunouichi, she had liked blue.

When she went to Konoha, she said it was tan, the color of sand.

But then she met the Konoha rookies.

She fought them, watched them, talked to them.

And gradually, she found a color she liked even more.

A color that flounced, smelled of strawberries, and changed styles.

The color of flowers that grew on certain trees in Konoha.

Temari had never liked the color pink.

But now, pink's the color that she loves.
